with his mental and playing style which is slow pace and slow warming up i see if he play 5th rank for thomas cup also cannot win.
giving him 5th rank china men, 3 rd rank from thai, indon, korea, denmark men singles also i see no chance to pull even to rubber sets...
just admit it and lets push Zulfadli up plz....

He can play well but highly inconsistent hence people calling him yoyo.
I think winning the All England got to his head and it was downhill from that point.

one of my favourite player before. love his style but very inconsistent. what a shame

Agreed, he usually loses when he turns on his slow reactive game.
The only game he really impressed me was with Lin Dan where he could have won in 2 straight sets but LD turned on the afterburners when down at 18 - 15 and won 18 -21 in the second set. Third set no need to mention

KUALA LUMPUR: Former All-England champion Mohd Hafiz Hashim is the top seed in the Malaysia International Challenge starting at Unimas Indoor Stadium, Kuching, today – but he may turn out to be an easy prey if his current form is anything to go by.

The Malaysia International Challenge is his first tournament since he aggravated an injury on his Achilles tendon after the China Masters in September.

“This is my last tournament for the year and my first appearance in two months. I just want to have some fun and see where I stand as far as my form is concerned. I have not set any targets although I am the top seed,” said Hafiz.

“I have taken steroid jabs to numb the pain. This is an old injury which flares up once a while.”
Hafiz, who has nothing much to shout about in terms of results except for a semi-final finish at the Malaysian Open Grand Prix Gold in June, said he would give himself one more year to see if he can succeed in the sport.
“It all depends on my foot. If I am able to bear the pain, I’ll give it a shot in 2013,” he said.
If Hafiz hangs up his racquet, he will take up coaching.

He had spent three weeks in Pune, India, as a coach with a club in August and conducts private coaching in his free time.
“The India coaching stint was a good experience. I had to come out with the training programme for the academy ... felt like a chief coach,” he joked.

“I’m also doing some private coaching. It’s quite fun and something that I may fall back on. I do not have my own centre right now but I might look into starting one.”

In the Malaysian International Challenge, a host of back-up shuttlers who used to look up to him during his glory days, are eyeing Hafiz’s scalp.

he was once a future of malaysian badminton but never fullfil his full potential... i think he wasted 7-8 years of his playing time after winning ae in 2003...but he's still one of malaysian stars who will be remembered for his stunning win and beautiful trick shoots at the ae 03 final.... hope after he retires, he will still contribute to malaysian development... i think hgis brother is also involve in coaching rite?
